Cancelled!
Jump to: Newest in thread
No, this is not in fact a thread relating to ‘Cancel Culture’, rather I’m prying as regards TV shows that you feel were cancelled long before their time.
I rather fancy Firefly may pop up here a few times….

I’m throwing in, Forever starring Ioan Gruffudd (Hornblower himself!).
It only lasted one miserly season but was wonderfully enjoyable.
Also, Ash vs Evil Dead. It managed three seasons which were all fantastic. I miss Ashey Slashey!  |

Watchmen wasn't cancelled. It was only ever meant to be a one season event.
Altered carbon season two was no where near as good as season one |

Marvel's Dungeons and Dragons. Not to be confused with the film of the same name.
The last episode was never broadcast.
Requiem, was the name of that missing piece
This would tie up all those loose ends.
The script has been written, a radio play production has been made, as some of the scenes in various format, cartoon and animated.
Come on Marvel! Stop the wait and finish off what should have been made complete in the late 1980s
So, in the age of Netflix et al why does it take Renault Brazil to give this series the big screen production it deserves? Come on Disney+ bring the kids home!
Hats off to their advertising agency.

"Wentworth.
You prefer the remake to the original Prisoner Cell Block H? Or do you just prefer walls to be made of stronger stuff, than cardboard?"
The original by far. The remake was still good though. |

Sort of like the ‘out there’ love child of Red Dwarf and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Equally utterly bonkers, weird, sexy and often very funny. I miss it!
Cancelled after 4 series but still has a huge cult following. |

I wasn't aware re Watchmwn. Agree re AC, change of lead actor was a mistake. I think a separate series on Poe would be great. |

Merlin. This was a fantastic series but the ending felt horribly rushed and was subsequently highly unsatisfactory.
In truth, the lead actor, Colin Morgan somewhat aided its cancellation when he decided he’d had enough and expressed his wish to quit the show.
Subsequently the BBC decided to lay the show to rest |

Well kind of.
It will be called sun Hill and some older cast members like Jim, June and Tony are coming back as crime consultants. |

I'm not a fan of hospital dramas, but this was bearable as I like to race Greg to the diagnosis. His back story does need writing, just like Gotham is to Batman, the darker and cynical the better. |

Sorry, I’m playing forum bingo, what I cleverly done, (you’ll like this) was see the opportunity to shout HOUSE! again, but this time it had a double meaning. I’ve never actually seen the programme cause my attention span has gone what with the onset of modern technology and social media. |

"Quantum Leap "
Without doubt, one of the most pathetic endings to one of the most consistently enjoyable series ever!
So the story goes that the makers were told midway through filming the seventh season that the show was to be axed.
As a result, they had to hurriedly cobble some sort of ending together for it.
Fair enough - BUT- What a dreadful bloody ending it was!!! We, as viewers were ‘treated’ to a passage of text on the screen which stated that Sam never got home(!!!)  |

I don't know if it has been cancelled because of how Netflix work, but I also think 'Frontier' deserved another season at least |

Going back a bit now and starring our very own Simon MacCorkindale (who sadly passed away a few years back) in Manimal.
It was cancelled before even the whole of the first series was aired(!) due to low ratings.

It was shockingly bad.
Out the same era as airwolf, the A team and automan. |

I remember Automan  (cancelled again during its first and only season).
Apparently that particular year of production was an absolutely dire ratings disaster for ABC who subsequently axed numerous shows in a ‘Toys thrown out the pram!’ fit.

Here’s an obscure one: Hard Time On Planet Earth. Anyone remember it?
It was produced by CBS and starred none other than Martin Kove (yes, Sensei John Kreese himself!) in a rare good guy role for a change.
It concerned an alien (Kove) who as I recall, ends up stranded here on earth and his resulting adventures.
Unfortunately for him however, cancellation after a mere 13 episodes was one adventure he hadn’t banked on!  |

A classic now: The Invaders, starring the late Roy Thinnes which first aired in 1967 and lasted two seasons before being unceremoniously axed.
There was no bloody resolution to the story!!!
Until that was, a shitty, two part, made for TV series came along in the 1990’s (with Thinnes himself barely in it!).
Even now though, hearing that scary theme music causes my anal nerve to almost give out….. |

There's a great article about the author of the Flashforward book which lists his suggestions for what season 2 should have done https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/awesome-pitch-flashforwards-author-made-second-season-we-never-saw |

Fellow period drama fans: Remember Sanditon? It was based on the unfinished novel by Jane Austin and was quite splendid viewing.
……until the ending that was, which sent Austin purists into a right old frenzy!
We all assumed therefore that a second season was on the cards for such a cliffhanger ending right?
Wrong! It’s been cancelled! |

Did anyone else here enjoy Beecham House which aired on ITV two years ago?
A sort of cross between Poldark and Downton Abbey, set in the scenic beauty of India; The production was truly lavish and ended on an exciting cliffhanger.
…..which we will now never know the outcome of as it was promptly cancelled shortly after the series finished airing!  |

Right then, someone with a twisted random sense of humour, like myself!
Yes, I did like that.
I don't like Bingo.
There is a canadian film called Bingo (1991) and the Americans like they do, speak a different language and shout BINGO!
When they have a full house. They also put the letters infront of the numbers, so 1 would be B1 and 90 would be o90, as they just wouldn't understand bingo lingo "Number ten, Maggies's den", "Number 1, Kelly's Eye" etc.

I remember it, as I was in the cafe when Barry and Terry were looking for Petra, they grabbed a waitress's arm only to realise thay it wasn't her. I was also the reason why they had to take it again.
"What a waste!"I blurted out, off camera, as the salad was flung off the plate, she was holding".
That was in St Helens, I think it was the cafe in Baldwin street, just furthe up from The Sefton Arms. |
